After spending several years in a sanatorium recovering from an
illness that caused him to lose his memory and ability to reason,
Prince Myshkin arrives in St Petersburg and is at once confronted
with the stark realities of life in the Russian capital - from
greed, murder and nihilism to passion, vanity and love. Mocked for
his childlike naivety yet valued for his openness and
understanding, Prince Myshkin finds himself entangled with two
women in a position he cannot bring himself to resolve. Dostoevsky,
who wrote that in the character of Prince Myshkin he hoped to
portray a "wholly virtuous man", shows the workings of the human
mind and our relationships with others in all their complex and
contradictory nature. Populated by an unforgettable cast of
characters, from the beautiful, self-destructive Nastasya
Filippovna to the dangerously obsessed Rogozhin and the radical
student Ippolit, The Idiot is one of Dostoevsky's most personal and
intense works of fiction.
